Multiple Value Characteristics

[Former Member]

Hello All

I have a scenario where, during configuration, in a multiple value characteristic, I have to enter two values manually which are same, but if I try to enter same values, it does not accept.

Is there any way to achieve this. I need to store two values which are same.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Adithya,

By definition, a characteristic value is unique. As far as I have understood your request, due to this design pattern, I fear you cannot have two values that are the same.

Unless I misunderstood your requirement.... in such a case, could you please share more details about it?

Thanks and bye,

Hello Flavio,

My characteristics shall look like below (just prefixed 0001 and 0002 for you to understand this better);

Char1

0001-XXXX

0002-YYYY

Char2

0001-100

0002-100

As per the requirement here, for first value of characteristic 1, the corresponding value in characteristic 2 is its first value and so on. While Char 1 has unique values, Char 2, does not have to be unique.

Thanks

Hello Adithya,

Thanks for your reply, it's clear now.

From the documentation, we cannot directly use multiple-value characteristics in dependency (procedure):

Multiple-Value Characteristics - Variant Configuration (LO-VC) - SAP Library

but there is a little workaround: we can infere multiple-value characteristics values using variant function.

Here a previous post dealing with a similar requirement:

I do hope this will help. Just let me know in case further details are needed.

Thank you and regards,

Hi Flavio

I understand this, but my concern is, when website passes the values to a multiple value characteristic, it passes two values which are same, which SAP does not accept.

My requirement is, first it has to accept two values which are same, and then I can concatenate using variant function values from two different characteristics.

Is there any way where I can store non-unique values in a multiple-value characteristic?

Thanks
